The 30 million users on Steam alone would like to have a word with you. Along with the 11 million WoW players. There's probably some overlap between those two groups, but my point still stands.

You do realize that there's probably a billion gamers world wide? The vast majority living in third world countries?

Yeah... 30 something million gamers doesn't seem like a lot anymore, does it?

Do you have ANY statistics or evidence to back that up? At all?

In America alone, there are (I think) 45 million + Xbox 360's in homes. There are 30 million registered users on Steam. There are 11 million users on WoW. There are over 80 million users who play social games on networks like Facebook. Those are all based off of real, verifiable statistics.

You show me ANY source that verifies there's even close to a billion gamers on this planet, and I'll be happy to lend your argument more weight.

I was exaggerating for effect. All you're taking into account are gamers who are registered online, but there are plenty more gamers playing on all platforms, mostly modded older gen ones. I don't have any statistics, but if you've ever been to some of the poorer countries you'll find that 90% of the youth there do play video games, and they'll probably own a playstation or something.

Well then, I will acquiesce that, comparatively, 30 million Steam users is middling in comparison, though it'd be nice if we had exact figures on how many people play PC games, how many use consoles, how many use both, etc.

Except once the apolypse comes, you'll get a "can't reach activation server" error right before a zombie eats you :D

Don't worry. Not only does my collection include DRM-free games, I will also probably be stocked up on cracks to bypass any DRM that the other games might have.

And who says pirates cannot do good deeds? ;)

What if the zombies chew on the electric cables ? :D

Well, obviously, I am going to get all the cracks before that happens. I mean, what is the first thing every smart person would do if an apocalypse occured? Get on the Internet to get all the files they need while it is still online, DUH! :P Also, the zombies would blow their brain trying to chew the electric cable anyway. :P
